According to a report read before the En-
glish Society of Arts, considerable advance
has been made in England in the cultivation
of tobacco. Some dozen or more OF large
land owners sent last spring to this country
and obtained different varieties of tobacco
seed, which they planted in farms on their
estates. One farmer, who planted several
acres at an estimated cost of $126 per acre,
has sold his product at eight cents per pound
and estimates the net profits to amount to
from $50 to $100 per acre.
The Railroad commissioners of Massachu-
setts intend to know something about the
railroad bridges of that State. They have
sent to all the railroad companies under their
jurisdiction the following: You are requested
to send to this Office, at the earliest practical
BILE moment, the strain sheets and records of
the first and latest tests of all the bridges on
the roads operated by you. State also
whether any parts of said bridges which are
essential to safety are SO covered as to be
concealed from inspection. Describe also the
style of flooring.
The Boston and Providence railroad COM
pany won't wait to be sued, but will, without
waiting for the results of the official investi-
CATION into the cause of the disaster at the
Bussey bridge, or without taking advantage
of any legal technicalities, at once settle for
all injuries caused by this accident and pay
the full amount allowed by law in every case
of death. The company will also pay for
the injuries or deaths of officers or employees
of the road the same as if they were passen-
gers. 1t is believed that the cost will be
at least half million.
Some ingenious seribbler has discovered
that the railroad men who will issue no more
free passes are backed up by the Bible as
we'll as the interstate law. In Numbers Xxx.
18, the general Injunction: "Thou shalt not
pass" but other passages are more explicit.
For instance, Judges ill.,, %, says: "Suffer
not a man to pass" Isaiah xiv, 10, con-
tains the sweeping prohibition that "None
shall ever pass" In Mark xii, 80, it is de-
clared "That this generation shall not pass. {"
In jeremiah v, %, we are informed that
"Though they roar, yet can they not pass, .
and Nahum l., is, asserts that "the wicked
shall no more pass" while Jonah l., 3, caps

Labor Parties.

The political labos movement Is not
transient phenomenon, destined to
speedily disappear, but movement of
more permanent character, which will
continue in some form until its objects,
so far as possible, have been attained.
For this reason it behooves our states
men, and the educated and thinking
class generally, to consider what they
ought to do in order to guide the move
ment Alright. An exclusively working
mems party is an undesirable thing,
even If its aims ere right; and no such
party can be maintained for any length
Of TINE if an honest attempt is made by
the educated people to help the working
people improve their lot. That much
may be accomplished, if all classes will
work together for this end, there can be
no reasonable doubt. Moreover, the
duty cannot be shirked. The question
o. improving the life OF the toiling
masses is the main political and social
problem of the age, and will remain SO
until 1t is solyed-if solution be possibles
and it can only be solved by measures
that are just to all other portions of
society. While American working men
are DESTROYS Of attaining their ends by
just means, they are liable to be misled
by their passions or their supposed in
terest. cr by designing men who pander
to both. 1t is the duty of the business
men among Us to do all they can to help
the working men in their Legitimate
aspirations, and at the same time to
show them their errors and rebuke them
when they go wrong. With popular
leadership Of the right sort, parties made
up OF laborers mainly would soon cease
to exist, and working men would attain
their ends by means Of parties composed
OF all classes and aiming at the good Of
aIl.-TLe Century.

SCHOOLBOY BLUNDERS,
English as She Is Taught and Written in
England.
From tLe Youths, Comnanion

(From the Youths Companion.)
The subject of school5oys' blunders
has recently been agitated in various d.
rections, and the collected result is ex-
ceedingly amusing. Some Of the very
best instances of inadvertently happy
phrasing come from English boys, and
are recorded in the Cornhill Magazine.
One youthful historian states, in exami-
nation, that "a constitutional monarch
IS one who has good constitution
Another seems trife vague about the
feudal system, and writes that ssit was
law that every one should get up at 8 a.
N. to put out his fires" Perhaps 8
philologist might think that the boy was
Of French descent, from his referring
the word feud to feu-fre.
Passing on to the Bible history, we
find versions OF the Beautitudes which
differ from those generally received:
BLESSED are ye when men shall say unto
you, 'Raca, ," and BLESSED are the poor
in spite of it."
A certain passage in Xenophon tells
us that son one occasion all the soldiers
escaped unhurt, but one man on the left
wing was said TO be ShOt. a translator,
by transposing the words, made the
statement sthat one was said to be shot
on the left wing" whereupon a clever
boy aptly remarked: "He must have
been q goose.
''One pupil, who wss asked to explain
the morning of the phrase, "the last in
trinity of noble minds" at once replied,
sttba ,-o,, oF
Another youth defined 'tguerdon" as
"a large fat thing that you brol on.''
This probably seems funnier to an Eng
lishman than it does to an American, for
the Englishman is apt to use the word
grill instead of gridiron.
Another boy must have been suffering
from pangs OF hunger, for he wrote, in
answer to :he question, ''What makes
the tower of Pisa lean?' ssbecause there
was sore famine in the land"

ELECTRIC FIRE BALLS.
A Question Raised as to Whether They arc
Not Optical Illusions.
(From the New York sun,

tFrom the New York sun.)
IN nearly al of the reports of personal
injury By lightning strokes victims who
recover say they have seen balls of fire.
The fire ball seems to figure conspicu-
ously IL all stories of prostration by
lightning, and it would be interesting to
study this special phase of the phenome-
na for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the fiery ball has any existence
except as the result of the bright fash
upon the optic nerves. Almost invaria-
bly, the persons who are close enough to
a flash OF lightning to see this ball have
declared that it moved slowly, dancing
and bounding through the room or
across the field, and in cases where men
and women have been prostrated and
subsequently recovered they have as
serted that the ball bounded slowly to-
ward them and struck them full in the
chest. recently talked with man who
was in e factory which YVES struck by
and he told me that two balls
OF ire approached him from the end Of
the room, slowly bounding along the
floor; and leapirg almost to the ceiling.
When they reached him, he said. they
Doth struck him on the breast at the
same instant, and he fell insensible.
The factory chimney was struck on this
occasion and partly demolished. He re-
covered in fifteen minutes and carefully
examined his clothes to see if they were
burned.
I firmly believe that the ball of fire is
merely an optical Illusion, and that it is
seen only by persons who are not in the
direct line of the electric current. Has
investigated the matter?
